Humanoid is partnering with Bosch to bring its HMND 01 industrial robots into mass production. The plans for a large-scale European deployment follow a successful proof of concept. In the test, Humanoid's anthropomorphic robots "demonstrated full capability in a complex industrial workflow," according to Humanoid.
Unitree has quickly established itself as the brand to beat in the humanoids robotics industry, wowing observers with a string of headline-grabbing demos of its bots' abilities in everything from acrobatics to basketball to manual labor to public rizz.
"Just checked, 176,000 job applications at Figure the last 3 years," he wrote in an X post on Saturday. "We've hired ~425 people." That amounts to a hiring rate of about .24% within the three years. Adcock wrote that most of the submissions were "slop." The spread of the 176,000 applications over the three years is unclear. Adcock did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
The future of robotics just got a lot more exciting thanks to the N1 robot, a cutting-edge humanoid machine designed by the company Fourier. This impressive robot has made headlines for its ability to perform complex acrobatic feats, including the rare and difficult cartwheel. As robots continue to capture our imaginations, the N1 stands out for its lifelike agility and the promise it holds for the future of robotics.
